Description
About Butcher's broom Butcher’s broom, also known as "little holly", is mainly used to treat varicose veins. It effectively relieves the discomfort of varicose veins and other circulatory disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency. Butcher’s broom can not only help treat and soothe pain but also addresses related symptoms (swelling, itching, numbness, cramps and a feeling of heaviness). Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of butcher's broom in managing these symptoms in people who walk a lot or who remain standing throughout the day. Although it is mainly promoted for the treatment of circulatory and inflammatory conditions, butcher's broom also has several other medicinal benefits. It is diuretic, which makes it useful in the treatment of bladder infections, but it is also capable of treating constipation, kidney stones, gastrointestinal disorders, and orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure after standing up from sitting or lying down).
